The US Gov’t purchased about 150 of these scanners in October. More were scheduled to be purchased after the “Christmas bomber” – “underwear bomber” Umar Farouk Abdulmatullab was allowed on a plane in Amsterdam headed to Detroit after getting assistance from a US agent. Undersecretary Secretary of State Patrick Kennedy testified in front of the House of Representatives Homeland Security Committee that our government aided Umar in getting on board the flight. Under questioning from chairman Rep. Bennie Thompson(D-MS)and committeeman Rep.Michael McCaul(R-TX), Kennedy admitted that his department was contacted by another Gov’t agency to get Umar on board – supposedly to act as a magnet for other terrorists after his arrival in the US. Detroit lawyers Kurt and Lori Haskell forced the Gov’t to change its story regarding this incident at least five times when being interviewed by the Detroit News and the Detroit Free Press. Unfortunately, the major media never followed up on this story and the majority of the populace in the US are not aware of the truth. These scanners also emit at least 20 times the radiation the Gov’t first said they did. If anyone doubts this blog, simply google the names contained herein.
